Hi there everyone.
 
The Gargantuan Mosquito were once normal little irritants. How ever this has been a long, hot, damp summer and the humid temperatures have seen the Mosquito population explode. As if this were not bad enough, Mages across the Realms have reported rogue magic concentrations that have allowed the Mosquitos to grow to monstrous size.
 
Now these beasts are buzzing around and draining people and livestock of their blood. Any unlucky survivors find themselves struck with a magical fever which spreads to other living beings, weakening them, making them easy prey!
 
The Warriors of the Realms must gather together to rid the Communities of these horrifying vermin!
 

Gargantuan Mosquito (Level 25)

Counts as 1 kill.

  

Envenomed Mosquito (Level 25)

Counts as 5 kills.

The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to destroy the Gargantuan Mosquito plaguing the realms.
 
Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly powerful chests (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.
 
The Global Event shall be live until 15:30 (Server Time) on the 22nd of March 2017.
 
For each tier that the community completes the reward will be as follows:
 
Bronze: 1 x Jigsaw Box
Silver: 1 x Rusted Iron Box
Gold: 1 x Decorated Lock Box
Crystal: 2 x Crystalline Box
Ruby: 3 x Cut Ruby Box
 
If you qualified, the reward(s) will be delivered to your mailbox shortly after the event ends. Note that you get the reward for the tier that you have qualified for, for example if the community unlocks Gold, but you qualify for Silver, you will receive 1 x Rusted Iron Box. You don't receive the rewards from lower tiers, only the tier you have qualified for.
 
If at the end of the event, you are placed within the top 100 contributors, you will receive 2 additional Cut Ruby Box in addition to any reward you are qualified for.
 
Finally, the top 3 contributors will get the chance to design a new Legendary Creature to be added to the game!
 
There is a helpful forum post RIGHT HERE full of information on Global hunting grounds and so on compiled from the Community by Egami.
 
Good luck everyone!

just fantastic! i was almost done leveling

Is the Envenomed Mosquito a x5 kill creature? It doesn't say.

 

But thanks regardless for the global. I wanted this one. No cut ruby boxes left.

 

Edit - I assume not as it's not posted as such but I figured I'd ask for clarification as BG is occasionally forgetful.

It is, yes. Didn't have to post that every time in the past so not all of my templates had that note. They do now.

Ah sweet. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Always useful to post it even if most people remember. For newer folks or people like me with a memory like a sieve.

let me guess. You didn't try smacking one of each. To see if there was a difference? Then you could have posted it to let everybody know

I'm not buffed. That's an inefficient use of 2 stamina. What an awful waste.

I was just perusing the top 100 list.  What I liked seeing was that there were a whole bunch of names I didn't recognize   Nice to know that there are new folk swatting 'skeeters out there!!

I would guess somewhere around 40 million kills. Not a bad effort. GG guys.

I bet it could be higher, if the lag wasn't so damned annoying (but that might just be me?).

I am messing around with 7sec per page load, and I am sorta betting it has to do with the jumping around servers - each page refresh results in me getting bumped to a different server. Never experienced this behavior in.. well.. ever tbh. Also seems like a very unlikely way to build a setup ...

 

[BigGrim]

Hey Kit.

No issues with the servers I can see though Cloudflare are showing re-routing in Quito, Ecuador, Philadelphia, United States and Stockholm, Sweden.

[KitiaraLi]

Hmrf. So.. no kick with the boot to the server? I am just saying, that sometimes this fancy technology needs to know its place :-P Or maybe.. kick someone at cloudfare... in the face mayhaps?

That ruby Overkill is incentive enough...One of the best chests.  red

[TxLxS]

I love these chest the buffs are extremely beneficial in all aspects they can be used

[Josh1404]

Gonna hit 50,000,000 kills very soon. Impressive turn out. Shame there is no tier above ruby.

 

Well done all.

[BigGrim]

Hi there everyone!
